Giver of Givers Foundation is building a safe, structured programme where young people can learn, eat, talk to trusted professionals, develop practical skills and find a supported route into education, training or work—including access to fully funded scholarships that empower them to pursue their potential.
In Rooiwal, Grootvlei, Petronella and surrounding communities, young people can face harmful peer pressure, substance abuse, school dropout, unemployment, violence, GBV, teenage pregnancy, food insecurity and limited access to career information.
The Foundation’s response is practical: a safe place outside school hours, trusted adults, attendance-linked meals, academic support, professional help when risk is identified, and clear pathways to further learning and opportunity, including fully funded scholarships for young people who would otherwise be unable to continue their education.
The proposed centre combines after care, structured development, mentorship and flexible case support in one published weekly programme.
Meals, homework support, counselling, computer access, sport and clubs.
Workshops, practical training, GBV prevention, leadership, sport and community service.
Life skills, family engagement and voluntary spiritual counselling or prayer support.
Expanded meals, skills camps, academic support, arts, sport and educational excursions.
Each part of the model addresses a specific barrier, but the value comes from keeping those services connected around each young person.
Supervised afternoons, safe arrival and departure, age-group activities and caregiver communication.
Homework supervision, tutoring, reading, computer access and school-retention follow-up.
A meal or substantial nutritious snack for every registered beneficiary attending a scheduled session.
Psychosocial screening, professional counselling, family support, case plans and specialised referrals.
Purpose work, GBV prevention, substance-abuse awareness, survivor-sensitive support and values-based mentorship.
Fully funded scholarships, digital and AI literacy, entrepreneurship, career guidance, work readiness and training referrals.
“A community in which every young person is safe, supported, educated and empowered to live purposefully and contribute positively to society.”
